安德鲁王子放弃约克公爵头衔，正值持续争议之际
摘要
安德鲁王子在与查尔斯三世国王讨论后，同意放弃约克公爵头衔，此举正值他与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的关联及近期指控受到重新审视之际。
安德鲁王子宣布决定停止使用约克公爵头衔，此前他与查尔斯三世国王及其他家庭成员进行了讨论。白金汉宫发布的声明中，安德鲁表示，针对他的持续指控已成为皇室工作的干扰。他强调了对家庭和国家的承诺，重申了此前退出公众生活的决定，并再次坚决否认所有指控。
此事发生在弗吉尼亚·贾弗里即将出版的回忆录摘录发布之后，贾弗里声称她在青少年时期被杰弗里·爱泼斯坦贩卖后，被迫与安德鲁发生性关系。安德鲁于2022年与贾弗里达成民事诉讼和解，但始终否认有任何不当行为。贾弗里于今年早些时候去世。
放弃约克公爵头衔的决定是在安德鲁与爱泼斯坦的关联及其他争议多年来受到公众和媒体广泛关注之后作出的。2022年，伊丽莎白二世女王撤销了安德鲁的军事头衔和皇室赞助身份。尽管退出了公开职责，安德鲁仍出席家庭活动，但他的出席一直存在争议。
放弃约克公爵头衔被视为解决围绕安德鲁王子持续争议及其对皇室公众形象影响的重要一步。
